Multiple updates to BOM on same day

[newjdedev1]

Hello list,

We are currently building an interface with our new Agile PLM system. We are bringing in the ECO generated in Agile to JDE and processing them using R30510. We have found that it's possible in Agile PLM to update the same BOM multiple times a day using different ECO.

While testing this in JDE, R30510 throws an error saying that "Bill is ineffective on the required date." We also got a white paper from Oracle which mentions that this can not be done in JDE using R30510.

Users say that this is a possible scenario and they currently use BOM application to manually change the dates.

Has anybody dealt with such scenario before? How did you do this?

We are on E1 9.0.

JDE ECO will not allow multiple ecos against the same BOM on the same day. Yes you can manually manipulate a BOM using BOM Entry to simulate this, but the ECO module itself is too stupid to do this. The designers never imagined we couldn't get it right multiple times on the same day.

I recently implemented an integration for a similar business case where the PLM interface had grouping logic to hold and push to JDE multiple ECO's as a single transaction.

The solution we designed is complex (programatically speaking) but supported other business requirements for ERP to PLM transactions as well.
